HOUSTON, TEXAS — Scattered Gulf-fueled pop-up thunderstorms are developing across eastern Texas today, stretching from the Houston metro area northward along the Interstate 45 corridor to Dallas. Radar imagery shows numerous storm cells producing heavy downpours and lightning, with southeast Texas holding the best chance for the most active weather.
Southeast Texas Faces Best Chance For Storms
Southeast Texas is seeing the most concentrated storm activity, with cells developing around Houston, College Station, and Huntsville along the Interstate 69 corridor. Strong radar returns are also showing near Galveston and areas south of Houston toward the Gulf Coast.
The College Station and Huntsville area is showing some of the most intense storm signatures on radar, with multiple cells producing heavy rainfall in a tight cluster. Forecasters note that downpours and frequent lightning are the primary hazards with these storms, rather than severe wind or hail threats.
Storms Stretch North Along I-45 Toward Dallas
Beyond southeast Texas, scattered storm cells are also popping up farther north along the I-45 corridor. Activity is showing up near Corsicana, Palestine, and Crockett, with additional cells developing around Nacogdoches and Lufkin to the east.
Farther north, storms are also visible near Tyler, Gilmer, and Greenville, extending toward the Dallas metro area. Denton and Weatherford, on the western edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth region, are seeing lighter activity so far…
